Aphasia Loss Of Language/Speech Due

to Brain Damage
 Central Nervous System
Brain Spinal Cord
Damage could arise from:
• Loss of blood supply due to a stroke
• Invasive injuries (e.g a automobile accident, gunshot
wound)
Uniqueness of Central Nervous System
• There are no pain receptores in the brain

Any distress that is felt comes from the tissues that

surround the brain

• The nervous in the central nervous system do

not regenerate

Brain injury is permanent

Broca’s vs Wernicke’s Aphasia

Examples Of Written Transcript fail to capture many features of speech

• Produces mostly nouns

• Unable to use grammatical functions words to
string phrases / clauses
